Favre's delivery at least looks (and is) strong - frankly it doesn't look any less conventional than Elway's did. Gannon's looked more conventional than Boller's and he ended up using his ability to change his delivery to his advantage by sidearming when he needed to in order to find a throwing lane.
one meaningless game against one of the worst teams in the league doesn't change my opinion one bit (nor should it). He's had a bunch of chances in games that have meant something over the couple years and he's shown no real flashes to indicate that there is something better around the corner. I think he's seeing his last few games as a starter so he better do something good.It seems that no one is sold on him yet.
I don't think it's reasonable to call Boller a Tedford product. Tedford coached him for one year; he was under Tom Holmoe for three years at Cal, and now has been in the pros for three years. Unless Tedford has some kind of Vulcan mind-meld that wipes out all other past and future coaching.My projections for Boller this year were 3150/21 passing, 200/1 rushing. On an annualized basis, he's now at 3106/18 passing, 139/2 rushing; in other words, he's performing about as I expected. His completion percentage is up (59.2% from 55.6%), as is yards/attempt (6.1 from 5.6). And in fact, in the last four weeks he's near the top 5 in fantasy scoring. Having real receivers on the team has made a big difference; if he hadn't been injured, he would have been at this point earlier in the season, but it's taken him some time to find rapport with the new corps.
hes only 24 years old- the same age as a Philip Rivers who hasn't even seen the field yet. He'll have plenty of chances ahead even if its not with the Ravens.one meaningless game against one of the worst teams in the league doesn't change my opinion one bit (nor should it).

maybe how to suck as pros
Agreed, it's the same as Joey Harrington looking like a pro bowler vs. the Arizona Cardinals this year in week 10. He was 22/32 for 231 yds + 3 TDs and zero picks. He looked great, but it was against 'Zona. He looked like garbage in every other game this year.Boller looked decent against a terrible GB team. But I honestly think Harrington is a better QB than Boller, and that's not saying much. Boller is awful. He is worse than awful. It's just too bad these guys can't play GB and Arizona every week.
Yeah, your superior team really handled the Ravens this year when you played them.
Well, at least there was last year when you guys went 15-1 before choking in the playoffs. Surely, you must have dominated them then, no?
If opposing teams have leads and simply run the ball against you to retain their lead, your pass defense stats are going to look good. Interesting that they're the next to last team in pass attempts against them, no?
If the Packers had gotten blown out a lot and thus teams were trying to kill the clock, your point would make sense. But the Pack were in nearly every game! In fact, if anything this would be the one game where the opposing team would be running a lot with a big lead.Date Opponent Time/Result DIRECTV® Channel SIRIUS Radio
They ran a lot because GB has a sucky run defense so teams never felt the need to pass. They were comfortable that they could run effectively against the Pack. The point is that opponents never got far behind where they would be forced to pass for clock management reasons, not that they necessarily had big leads.And if you saw that game, it was clear that GB could not cover anyone or anything in that game. The whole team looked like it had quit.
The pass defense ranking is based on passing yards allowed. But the Green Bay defense has given up 20 TDs through the air and only has 8 picks. Darren Sharper by himself has 8 picks.
I am starting Boller next week in my championship. Drafted mcnabb. Had a merry go round of QBs this year. mcnabb/collins/Carr/boller. I think Boller has the best matchup this weekend. plus he is on Christmas night when we go to the bar after family parties. Come on Boller.Agreed.. he's available in some 2 QB leagues, but you gotta have some nuts to start him. I might..
To look even further...that was the worst defense the Packers have played all year long. Not one guy on defense played with anything resembling heart or talent. Both Carrol and Harris were nowhere near WRs...nobody could cover Heap...no pressure out of Kampman and KGB...Jamal freakin Lewis ran like he was good again.This game was a blip on the screen for Boller. Looked good that one night...but hardly signs of him figuring anything out...or a sign that the Packer defense is as bad as it was that night.
The kool aid is tasting good so far.Bump for tonights game. As much as I am shocked to type it, Boller has looked good!
Tonight's stats so far (4-ish mins left in this game):
24 for 34, 289 yards, 3TDs and 1 INT.
2 weeks in a row just a fluke? Anyone starting to sip the kool aid yet?
